Can a bad or lazy VGT solenoid cause a P132B code? I just recently had the turbo cleaned and the VGT solenoid replaced about 3 months ago. The truck is a bit sluggish at take off. Is there anyway to check the solenoid to see if its bad? Thanks for any help.

I hear you do more damage to the VGT solenoid by trying to clean them than anything.

 

You absolutely do NOT want to try and clean the solenoid.

You must have an 03 motor in your truck? Do you know when the last time it was flashed? Usually this code is related to an aftermarket intake. Other things you can do: pull the EBP sensor, check it for corrosion, and clean the EBP tube. Check the map sensor rubber tube from passenger side of the intake manifold to the map sensor and make sure the tube and nipple in the manifold are clean. Do you drive the truck rather conservatively?

I had this code before and it was a intercooler tube came loff the IC. =no boost

 

Yes its a 03 engine, I have cleaned the EBP sensor and tube they were not that dirty.
I havent checked the map sensor rubber tube yet. I drive the truck every day and pull a 24ft trailer about 4 to 5 times a year. Dont haul anything that often. Thanks for the info......

 

Wow, sounds like I need to find a mechanic. The other codes are P006A P0401 P132B P2269. EGR is blocked. Not sure what mass air correlation means.

 

So what was the problem?

 

Inquiring minds want to know

 

Im sitting in the same boat on my 03 right now. I've had the P006A P0401 codes since doing my EGR delete a year ago, but the P132B just popped up a couple weeks ago out of the blue while trucking down the highway.

It starts fine, runs fine, not sluggish, but need to determine the cause.

 

well Ill update my results I had my turbo rebuilt and problem went away. Not like that helps but my turbo was crap and now it works if the truck would run itwould be a good turbo LOL

 

P132B is a turbo code, but can be caused by EGR not doing what it should. Your block off kit is causing it all if you don't have a tuner to properly delete the EGR.

 

you had me laughing, that is just so sad it is funny.

 

Lol glad I can amuse you
